Without waiting for Madam Lu to explain in detail, Mrs. Ye waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that it was not possible.
She had seen foreigners in Tianjin before. Although the men's clothes were strange, they looked decent at least.
But the women's clothes are really disgusting.
The big skirts look very luxurious, but the tops are all tight and slim-fitting.
The chest and waist are outlined very eye-catchingly.
Even though there was no extra flesh showing, it still made her feel indecent.
She couldn't make this kind of clothes, even if she knew how to make them.
Madam Lu quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to make clothes for Westerners.
"The Queen wanted a full-length dress, but she also wanted it to be a little special, so she asked me to help her find a tailor.
"I also happened to hear Qingtian say yesterday that you have good skills in making clothes, so I came here to ask if you want to take this job."
After hearing this, Ye Ersao felt a little embarrassed. The other person came all the way here just for her, and she was still trying to refuse.
"When will we need this Queen Bei's clothes?" Mrs. Ye was thinking about the work she had on hand and was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to take care of it.
"It has to be before May 20th, so it will probably only take half a month at most.
"Sister-in-law Ye, Qingtian is now my apprentice, and you are her family, so I naturally won't say anything empty words to you.
"To put it mildly, making clothes for the Queen will definitely earn you several times, or even dozens of times, more than making clothes for others.
"Let's talk about it from a broader perspective. The Queen is going to wear this dress in the palace and in front of the Emperor.
"What a great opportunity this is! If you do well, you can get your brand out there in no time.
"From now on, it won't be you who will be chosen by the work, it will be you who will be chosen by the work!"
Ye Ersao knew very well that this was an excellent opportunity.
But time is really tight.
And if she took on the job of being the queen, she would definitely do it with all her strength and would have no time to take care of anything else.
But she still has two unfinished tasks and she really doesn't have the time to spare!
"I have several jobs on hand. If I make clothes for the Queen, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver them on time.
"I can't ignore my previous customers just to take this business!"
Ye Ersao was very conflicted, but in the end she felt that people should be trustworthy and should do their job well before considering other things.
What's more, the job she is doing now is not something she found on her own, but was introduced to her by Manager Lu.
If she couldn't finish it on time, it would be a slap in Lu Hongyun's face.
“I’m so sorry to bother you, Madam Lu, for coming all the way here to find me.
"But I'm so sorry..."
Before Ye Ersao could finish her words, Madam Lu interrupted her and asked, "Whose lady is the dress you are making now?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Ye was stunned by the question, thinking that maybe Madam Lu knew someone who wanted her to make clothes?
Qingtian, who was standing by, said anxiously, "Second Aunt, Mr. Lu is asking you a question, hurry up and speak!"
"Oh, these are the summer clothes of the wife and eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Duan Dajia."
Madam Lu nodded and said, "Not bad, the official position is not low.
"If I tell you that I can get them to delay delivery, would you be willing to take on this business of making clothes for the Queen?"
"Of course I'm willing!" Second Sister Ye said immediately, "Could it be that Madam Lu knows Madam Duan and Miss Duan?"
"I don't know them, but I have a way to make them agree, and agree happily without taking any offense at you."
"Ah?" Ye Ersao was stunned.
Is this possible?
If she wasn't Qingtian's master, someone even Mr. Wei recognized, Mrs. Ye would definitely think she was a liar.
Seeing that Madam Lu spoke so confidently, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but be moved.
Qingtian kept saying beside her, "Second Aunt, don't worry, Mr. Lu never tells lies."
"Then I..." Ye Ersao's original insistence had been shattered, and she was about to agree.
Madam Lu reassured her and said, "Bring the work you are doing with you back to the capital with us. If I fail to fulfill my promise, it will not delay your delivery of the clothes.
"Then I'll compensate you with a set of head jewelry to make up for your losses. How about that?"
"How can this be done?" Ye Ersao said quickly, "It's impossible. I'm so grateful that you thought of me when you had such a good thing.
"Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's not your fault.
“Besides, this kind of thing always has successes and failures.
"If it doesn't work out, I won't suffer any loss, let alone make up for the loss.
“I’ll pack my things now and go to the capital with you this afternoon.
"As long as the Queen doesn't dislike my craftsmanship, I will definitely do my best and will never bring shame to you."
"That's right, that's how it should be!"
Seeing that although Mrs. Ye was a little conflicted, she was still a straightforward person in her words and deeds, Madam Lu felt relieved.
She is more afraid of working with people who are confused than with people who are incompetent.
After lunch, Madam Lu took Mrs. Ye and Qingtian back to the capital.
Boss Ye stayed in the village by himself.
After waking up from her nap, Mrs. Ye found that Boss Ye was still at home.
Boss Ye was sitting in the yard, his back to the door, mumbling something.
Old Mrs. Ye walked over curiously and saw him packing his bow and arrows in the yard.
